“Pearl Jam cover” as in Pearl Jam (or just EV) doing a cover of someone else’s song. So, I used to think this category was won by Let My Love Open the Door. [Pearl Jam - Let My Love Open The Door @ Soldier Field '95 - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98ZWcJqeVeE) But tonight I discovered Throw Your Arms Around Me.

I’ve always been partial to “Sonic Reducer” as it’s quite a good song, it’s from my “era” of Pearl Jam (the first part) and it’s a cover of a band from Cleveland, Rocket from the Tombs. ---

I’m partial to “Baba O’Reilly.” “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” is probably my 2nd choice. The bits they do during “Daughter” are usually pretty good, but those aren’t really covers, usually just a chorus or a couple verses from various songs.
